Wall design in history
Even in Pompeii, the luxurious houses of the upper classes were decorated with murals. The ancient Romans recognized the effect of color and brought life to bare walls. They decorated their walls with mock-architectural pictures, fake pillars, cornices and columns with sophisticated light and shadow effects. Walls were decorated with landscapes, magnificent gardens and adjoining rooms. The depictions were quite liberal in their choice of motif and technique.
From the Middle Ages onwards, frescoed murals were created, primarily depicting symbols and cycles of biblical history. At this time, the contractors were often anonymous and artists in the modern sense worked as craftsmen.
Mural design experienced its heyday during the Renaissance. To this day, countless works by masters such as Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael still exist. In today's digital age, traditional wall design still has its appeal. There are many possibilities to realize your desired picture with different motifs.
I offer you a variety of high-quality options for designing your walls or façade with large-scale motifs and sophisticated details, for example. Through an independent artistic contribution to the building project, a reference to the architecture of the building is created which impresses through artistic quality and expressiveness:
- the completion of the rooms and walls through form and color design
- the visual emphasis of the architecture through colors
- enriching the façade with additional architectural painting details
- the imitation of stone and other elements
- the decorative design with decorative elements
- the pictorial representation of classical, historical or artistically interpretative motifs
- illusionistic representations
My murals are executed using traditional materials such as stencils, brushes and paints and by transferring the motif to the object using a grid.
